Accurate wind data is essential for maximizing crop yields. The GMX200-GPS addresses this need by measuring true wind conditions, which are more relevant than apparent wind for agricultural applications. Its built-in GPS allows it to determine its precise location and adjust wind readings for movement, making it suitable for mounting on farming equipment. This capability enables precise timing for planting, spraying, and harvesting, leading to improved crop production.
